A lot of you may know Sigtryggr from the show the last Kingdom. Where he was introduced to us as a savage Viking leader who later befriended the shows protagonist Uhtred. The Real Sigtryggr however, had much more of a deep rooted history being the son of the legendary Ivar the boneless. He was a member of the Ui Imair which was a royal Norse-Gael dynasty which ruled much of the Irish Sea region, the Kingdom of Dublin, the western coast of Scotland and some parts of Northern England from the mid 9th century.

The Last Kingdom was so good that they can make a series for each character. There is so much history here with each of the main characters like Sigtruggr, Ragnar, Cnut, etc.
Seriously, I'd love to see Siggtryger during his origin story see his grandfather Ivar, and look up to him and become inspired
@@Bobby__B I would love to see that as well. "When you fight, you fight with one heart!"
That would be Amazing. Unfortunately for whatever Dumba$$ reason, Netflix scrapped 2 more seasons and decided to end it with the Film 7 Kings Must Die.
It definitely wasn't a ratings or money Issue.
I've watched the seasons several times, especially to fall asleep too.
Also there's not much source material to work with for all of them but a fantastic writing team could fix that.
@@CourageGraceandKickintheAss Very true!!!
Yesss. A Sygtryggr show would be so so good!! All of them. Best show in decades and decades in my opinion.
The Last Kingdom did a fascinating job of pairing Sigtryggr with Uhtred. The biggest failure of the movie/finale is not showing Sigtryggr in the Halls of Valhalla at the end. He really was the mirror and kin to Uhtred in the show. I think there was more to explore there, but like most stories it had to be contained. Shame though because Sigtryggr certainly has a fascinating story to tell and worked great (story wise) with Uhtred. I hope more people dig into him
Is the movie out now?
I completely agree with you on all points and when watching I was like "hey that's Not what happened to him" but the series is Amazing. #2 out of my top 3 favorite's.
Ivar couldn't have been that "boneless" if he ended up with this many descendants!
I believe he was dubbed, "The Boneless" due to his illness of brittle bone disease, and not as a besmirching of his virility.
😝
@@coronasboringdothething54
Well perhaps his enemies meant to try to demasculate him :)
He gave each woman a bone and died boneless
If you look him up he was called Boneless because of his cruelty and they found his bones in a pit of like 250 other people. They estimate him to be 9ft tall. The Vikings show did that for dramatic purposes.
In real life he would have been left to die just like Ragnar tried to do.
When the ships were made of wood, men were made of steel.
🎯 🏋♂
Pure steel
Back when men could say “thank the gods” and not be hung or killed for it
@@calcaleb7041 What? You can say that now. 😂
@@TonyMezaXD True, 😂 but I get weird looks at Walmart here in the Bible Belt south Georgia when I wear my mjölnir in public. Gods forbid I say the words pagan let alone norse pagan.
I really enjoy your videos Man learning the true history rather than relying on the shows. Thank you for these videos so I can understand the true history of these individual people who lived.
Thank you so much for watching !!
Also Wexford in Ireland. In Kilkenny Ireland there's a Viking Cave found not so long ago. Viking Skeletal Remains were found. It's now open to the Public.
I definitely need to visit one day
@@historyprofiles yes do.
@@Winston.S.Churchill My Surname Doyle in Irish it's Ní Dhuill which means Dark Haired Blue Eyed Strangers. That's what the Celts called the Vikings when they landed in Wexford as the Celts didn't know who they were 🤣🤣
I absolutely LOVE this show (The Last Kingdom) currently and fell immediately in love with Sygtryggr, as did Stiorra. 💕💫 Totally my type of guy, lol.
I've watched this a few times...laying on my Sigtryggr blanket. Lol. I got it on Etsy.. He is my fave Viking. Eysteinn Sigurdarson plays him so well.
There's a story of how Ivar was buried near Hastings. William the bastard dig him up years later and scattered his remains as the superstitious Normans Ivar would haunt them for abandoning the old Gods.
Also there are two records for Rollo and in one he is grandson of Bjorn (Gongu Hrolfr - Rollo the Walker). The other has him as an exile from Denmark who got in trouble with Harald Finehair after he stole Harald s cattle
The saga's over-dramatize Rollo's pursuit of farmland lol. he wasn't kicked out he was given an ultimatum
An amazing story from Sigfeider, Thanks foe this awesome video productions.
Thanks for another really great video, so interesting to learn about Sitric
Thank you so much BC
Amazing story! Your narration is spotless and great to enjoy. Welcome back History Profiles! Thank you. My apologies for being later, some issues here
I enjoy all of your videos! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching !
Thank you for this.
Thank you for watching !
No documentary source Irish or English refers to Ivarr as the Boneless until three hundred years after his death.
Mulțumesc frumos !
I have sitric and his brother Ragnall in my family tree. 😊
That’s amazing !
So many people you talk about is in my tred. Its crazy how small the world is 😊
@@brkhrt3595 you're a descendant of ragnar lothbrok.
Doubt it
Same... Sitric is my direct ancestor and then Olaf Cuaran, Sitric Silkbeard, his son Olaf and Olaf's daughter Ragnild. Ragnild married into the royalty of Gwynedd in North Wales.
I love this channel. ❤
Thank you so much it means a lot
Love your videos ☺️❤️
Thank you so much these comments mean a lot
Wished he was in the show longer
Thanks For sharing this great info. I trace back to Sitic.
That’s amazing thank you for watching !!
I really enjoyed this character...
I watched all of the last kingdom on Netflix and I enjoyed the amazing work on the show and I heard that Netflix is going to do the last kingdom movies
Would you consider doing a video on Egil Skallagrimmarson? He’s in the Saxon Stories’ books but was cut from the show
LOVE Egil's character in the books!!
Wow, he had such a presence in the Nurse world......
I think the boneless label was from a theoretical name like maybe he never got hurt or got hurt alot n didn't combine but I font think he was cripple like yhe show n the dates of all these shows r off alot
The Last Kingdom is sooo much better than the “new” Vikings Valhalla show
The Niall you speak of in this video...Are you referring to Niall of the 9 Hostages?
Niall of the 9 hostages was almost 500 years earlier. The Niall in this video is Niall Glendub. From the same dynasty, but different person and period.
Sihtric would never submit to the anglo saxons. If he hadnt died he would surely have expanded the danelaw. Why u think athelstan felt the need to give his own sister in marriage to a godless pagan?? Sihtric was too crafty and mighty a warrior for athelstan to handle on the battlefield.
Ever since Wessex began its expansion into the Danelaw it was unstoppable. No Viking kings could stand in its way, many tried and they died in battle. He was king of York, the Anglo-Saxons would’ve successfully besieged the city like they did to many others and he would’ve been killed or exiled. Here you’re talking about Æthelstan being no match for him on the battlefield... Æthelstan defeated a huge alliance of Scots, Britons and Vikings at Brunanburh in 937.
All u say is pretty much untrue. Plz do the research before u start posting "facts"
@@ML-bw4yt well if u did ur research u would know that the viking lines held firm at brunanburh.. it was the scots which gave way and olaf had to fall back if he was to avoid outflanking.
Besides athelstans brother was defeated in a great battle at leicester by olaf in 940. All anglo saxon gains in 50 years was reversed by olaf in one battle.
Ivar the boneless had seven son its in the saxon Chronicles
Ivar is named Ivar Exosus in that book or Ivar the Cruel. Ex Osus does mean without bones though hence the mischaracterization
Celtic has a hard “c” as in candle. It’s the football team that is pronounced Seltic.
Glad I checked the comments before commenting the same myself 😂
If not for The Vikings, The Irish might still be fighting amongst one another
The name Niall is not pronounced like 'Ni-all', it's pronounced Nile like the River Nile. Good video 👍
Why you showing Ubba's photo whenever you say Ragnar lol
We have a king sitric restauant in howth, co dublin.
“His cousin, or possibly brother…” … or possibly both. 😂
Gog magog
I read conflicting reports on Ivar the boneless and his ability or inability to have children. Somewhere is the truth, but we may never know. So I take it all with a grain of salt still it’s good story telling
Crusader kings 3 map.. NIC3
it really sucks theres soooooo much history we dont know about
Ragnar lothbrok
Who were Ivars children?
Barid the eldest then Sigtryggr, Sigfroth and a daughter who married the Jarl of Aarhus. He had three more sons but they are not mentioned in Crusader Kings 3😂
@@caniblmolstr4503 did it say that in this video?!🤦🏼♀️🤣 I wouldn't be surprised if I missed it. But all the other ones I watch about this time period never mention his children, just this grandson., and his dad, obviously.
@@PNWCagey-Dub Only the three I mentioned are important anyways as after Ivar these three ruled lands in their own right (The Hebrides, Lothian and Dublin respectively)
@@caniblmolstr4503 Ah. That makes sense. Thank you.
@@PNWCagey-Dub the Sudreyjar (Hebrides) ones are kinda important as they were the basis for the Ironborn in Game of Thrones
Ivar the boneless wasn't boneless.
You pronounced Celtic wrong, they are a people not a basketball team. 🤦♂️
Or a socccer team glasgow celtic
Ivar couldn’t have kids. 🧐🧐🧐
His death in the show was extremely contrived, so unnecessary
They just made a trash for season 5 its full of lies and somehow disgusting
To me it sounds like he was murdered
Ui imear is pronounced ee imar and niall is pronounced nile.
I don't believe Ivar The Boneless had anything to do with his physical condition, I believe he would possibly remove bones or skinned his enemys, who knows the sagas don't explain why he took on that nickname, just how ruthless he was?🗡🪓🩸
